A Bulgarian international in the opposite role, Iva Dudova was born on February 11, 2006 and is listed at 198 cm. Dudova developed at Maritza Plovdiv, won repeated domestic titles there and joined Eczacıbaşı Dynavit for the 2026–27 season in a transfer announced by the Turkish club and CEV.
Opposite is the primary right-side attacking role and usually carries a major blocking matchup against the other team’s outside hitter. The position often receives fewer serves than an outside hitter, leaving a heavier share of its work in attacking, blocking and transition offense. For Iva Dudova, the listed height of 198 cm is relevant context for a role that spends much of its front-row work at the net.
A national-team season differs from club volleyball because the training window is shorter and role definitions can shift according to opponent and roster availability. Reaching the senior international group in 2026 gave her top-level national-team exposure at an early stage of her career. Her place with Bulgaria Women’s National Volleyball Team in 2026 confirms senior international experience without reducing the rest of her career to one event. For Iva Dudova, that national-team record sits alongside the longer club career rather than replacing it. The international season places a premium on quick adjustment, since teams can face several contrasting opponents within a short window and have less training time than during the club year.
